We're getting married!

## The Beginning: Concentrix and a True Friendship (2018) The story didn't start with a flashy cinematic spark, but with something much more enduring: a steady, reliable friendship. In 2018, amidst the busy shifts at Concentrix, Jenn and Cody found each other. Whenever things got hard for Jenn that year, Cody was there. He became her safe harbor—the person who listened without judgment, let her vent, and offered a grounding support she quickly realized she couldn't live without. By summer, the connection was undeniable. On **July 13, 2018**, they took a leap of faith on their first official date. Later that month, Jenn met the kids. There was sweet, four-year-old Jaden, and nine-year-old Steven, who was bursting with energy and thrilled to be almost as tall as Jenn. In a single summer, the blueprints for their future were drawn. --- ## Building a Family and Surviving the Storms (2019 – 2023) In 2019, they decided to merge their lives completely and move in together. Like any real love story, theirs had its share of ups and downs, but their greatest test came when the world threw a curveball: a global pandemic. Navigating lockdowns, remote schooling, and endless uncertainty under one roof turned their home into a pressure cooker—but also a sanctuary. They learned to communicate through the stress, laugh when overwhelmed, and lean on each other. Surviving that chapter didn't break them; it proved they were an unbreakable team. --- ## The Missing Piece and a Promise (2024) By 2024, their foundation was rock solid, but Jenn and Cody knew their puzzle was missing one final, perfect piece. That piece arrived in **September 2024** with the birth of their son, Noah. His arrival brought a fresh wave of joy, and watching Steven and Jaden instantly step into their roles as big brother and big sister made the family whole. With their universe complete, Cody knew it was time to make things permanent. Just a month later, in **October 2024**, Cody asked Jenn to marry him. Surrounded by the life they had built from scratch, Jenn joyfully said yes. --- ## The Road to September (2025 – 2026) In 2025, they reached another massive milestone: moving into their very first house, creating a permanent canvas for their children to grow up in. Now, in 2026, the countdown is finally on. This September, after eight long, beautiful years, the waiting ends. The friendship that started in a busy office will culminate in a room full of loved ones cheering them on. Jenn and Cody will look into each other’s eyes and officially turn the page to their next great chapter: walking forward, hand-in-hand, as **Mr. and Mrs. King**.
